## How to Contribute
|
|
|
|
### Reporting Bugs
|
|
|
|
- Check the [existing issues](https://github.com/epsilonrt/mbpoll/issues) to avoid duplicates.
|
|
- Use a clear and descriptive title.
|
|
- Describe the steps to reproduce the bug.
|
|
- Include your OS, mbpoll version (`mbpoll -V`), and any relevant logs.
|
|
|
|
### Suggesting Features
|
|
|
|
- Open an issue with the `enhancement` label.
|
|
- Explain the use case and why this feature would be useful.
|
|
|
|
### Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
1. **Fork** the repository.
|
|
2. **Create a branch** from `dev` (not `master`):
|
|
```bash
|
|
git checkout dev
|
|
git pull origin dev
|
|
git checkout -b my-feature
|
|
```
|
|
3. **Make your changes** and commit with clear messages.
|
|
4. **Test your changes** — make sure the project builds on your platform.
|
|
5. **Push** your branch and open a PR **targeting `dev`**.
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ **Important:** All pull requests must target the `dev` branch.
|
|
> PRs against `master` will not be accepted, as `master` is reserved for stable releases only.
|
|
|
|
### Coding Guidelines
|
|
|
|
- Follow the existing code style (C99, 2-space indentation).
|
|
- Keep commits focused — one logical change per commit.
|
|
- Update documentation if your change affects usage or options.
|
|
|
